RIGHTS & RESTRICTIONS
TRADEMARKS & COPYRIGHTS:
PUBLIC SOFTWARE LIBRARY and PSL are registered trademarks of Nelson
Ford and PsL.
The program descriptions, the text of PsL News, and the text of the
PsL Reviews are registered with the Copyright Office.
The contents of the PsL Monthly CD (PsL CD) as a compilation are
protected by copyright, registered with the Copyright Office.
Reproduction of one or more of PsL's monthly CDs as one or more sets
of substantially the same files without permission of PsL is
prohibited.
Use of these trademarks and copyright materials in any means related
to the distribution of public domain or shareware software is subject
to the following restrictions:
PROGRAM COPYRIGHTS:
Most of the programs on this CD are copyright by the authors of the
programs. Some of the programs may require written permission for
redistribution.
Because PsL does not own the software, we cannot grant to others the
right to redistribute it. It is the responsibility of distributors who
are not licensees of PsL to obtain permission for redistribution from
the authors of the programs who require it.
Therefore, the following license only applies to the use of PsL's
rights: our trademarks, our copyrights of the text, our compilation
copyright, our disk numbering system, and the names of disks given to
compilations of programs.
To make it easier for other vendors and BBSs to comply with author's
copyrights, the Windows-based CD access program, PSL_SHRW.EXE, shows
for each program if the author's permission is required to distribute
the program and if ASP BBSs and vendors are given advance permission.
BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEMS:
BBS owners who also distribute public domain or shareware software on
diskettes are subject to the license for vendors, below, and not the
terms of this section.
Programs may be copied from the PsL CD for redistribution on BBSs in
any way the holder of the CD sees fit, subject to the program
copyrights.
BBSs may make the PsL CD available for callers to download from,
subject to the program copyrights and after submitting the BBS license
registration form in the SYSOPS.TXT file in the root directory.
BBSs may refer to the PsL CD by name as being available on the BBS,
but may not imply that the BBS or its owner is an agent or licensee of
PsL nor that the BBS has any kind of exclusive right to distribute
from the CD. This means, in part, that you may NOT use PsL's name in
your BBS name (eg: "PSL-CD BBS")
Program descriptions and Review files may be copied to other
electronic media, such as a hard disk, only for accessing by modem and
only for the purpose of aiding callers in selecting programs to
download from the PsL CD on the same machine.
The program descriptions and Review files may not be printed nor
distributed in any other way nor used for any purpose other than for
downloading from the PsL CD without the express written permission of
Nelson Ford.
This license only applies to the use of this CD on a single system.
For example, you may not copy all or substantial parts of this CD to a
hard disk on one system and then use the CD on a different system or
transfer the CD to another individual to use. You may not copy PsL's
Reviews or description files to a system other than the one to which
the CD is licensed.
VENDORS:
Vendors of public domain or shareware software may copy files from the
PsL CD for redistribution on other media, subject to the program
copyrights and PsL's compilation copyrights (eg: vendors may not
create a CD-ROM by simply copying substantial portions of this CD -
nor *any* of our program descriptions).
Vendors may NOT use the PsL trademarks in any way, including but not
limited to, reference to the PsL CD as the source of the programs,
which would also be an implicit violation of our compilation
copyright, without licensing by PsL.
Vendors may not redistribute the program descriptions nor Reviews
files in any form, including distribution of electronic or printed
copies of PsL News, without licensing by PsL.
Vendors who also distribute via bulletin board systems may NOT make
the PsL CD available on-line. Such vendors may copy individual
programs onto their BBS, subject to the program copyrights, but not
use PsL's name nor other copyright materials in any way connected with
such distribution.
LOCAL ACCESS OF THE PSL CD:
User groups, stores, libraries, etc, may copy individual files from
the PsL CD for redistribution on other media, subject to the program
copyrights.
User groups and other non-profit organizations (eg: public libraries)
may make the PsL CD available for direct copying of files by users,
subject to the program copyrights. (Such organizations may wish to
contact PsL for information about volume discounts on PsL News, in
order to be able to provide users with a printed reference to the PsL
CD.)
PsL's compilation, trademarks, and other rights are licensed to a
single machine. If you copy substantially all of the CD to a hard
drive for distribution or use PsL's trademarks or copyright material
on a hard drive, you may not then use the CD on a different machine or
transfer the CD to another individual to use.
For-profit enterprises may NOT make the PsL CD or substantial copies
(eg: to a hard disk) of the CD available for local copying without
specific licensing for this purpose by PsL. Failure to obtain such a
license is a violation of trademark and copyright laws.
